Dream 11 Picks
Goal-Keeper
Taking on a rejuvenated Western United side the last time around, a team which just couldn’t stop scoring, Melbourne City knew they would need to pull off a heroic effort in defence. And their goal-keeper, Tom Glover was more then up to the task for the side with him schooling Western to come up with a cleansheet for the side.
